Cool link, thanks!

Send me a mailing address; the "pied" email address that appears in my headers is real. Check out this web site: http://www.fossilguy.com/sites/calvert/calv_meg.htm The area under discussion includes a beach I frequently land at for swimming...and fossil hunting. |

Advice sought on electric trailer winches...
I've been using a Powerwinch 912 for the last 15 yrs. It has a single
line pull of 3500 lbs. and a double line pull of 6000 lbs. The block & tackle for the double line pull is included as are all the electrical lines. There is enough cable to run to the car/truck battery. In my case, I have a F150 pickup and I run the cable back and keep it in the cap out of the weather. I have the Powerwinch attached with shoulder bolts on top of the winch stand. I only use the Power winch for retrieving the boat, after I have the boat firmly on the trailer, I unhook the Powerwinch and snug the bow up with the hand winch, then remove the Powerwinch and store it in the truck, out of sight. Its easy to load a boat with the powerwinch because you can use a lanyard to operate it while you stand on the dock aligning the boat. I have a roller type trailer, so I don't have to back down as far as one would with bunkers. This arrangement is good also, because in case the Powerwinch fails, you always have the handwinch backing it up. If anyone is interested in seeing a pic of how I have the winchstand set up, I'd be glad to take a pic and post it. Happy boating ==== Norm |

Happy boating ==== Norm Thanks...I've "discovered" (d'oh) that my existing fulton winch has a low range, which I have never used. I'll try that for a while. And there are one or two manual winches larger than what I have...so I could upgrade without going to electric. My old tractor has a Warn electric winch on it. It's old and it still works, and while I have not examined the Powerwinch brand, I wonder if these truck, 4x4 and "tractor" winches are tougher than the boater trailer winches. The guy who owned the tractor before me used the winch to haul fallen trees and suchlike off the edges of his farm. |

Now note mouseketeers!!! this is from a liar who claims to have owned endless boats ALL his long sad uneducated life!!!! My grandkids know about the winch ratios & how to best use them!!!! Is it likely make your own mind up these are his own claims:-) "Besides, I worked off and on in the boat business and inherited it when he died. So, as I said,I'm knee-deep in boat heritage." This is proof!!!! there is no boat he just trolls the net for stuff so he can pretend he owns & knows, both of which are totally untrue!!! K |

One of his standard ploys is to "invite" to meet, but it never happens because then he'll be exposed as the liar he is. The closest he's ever got in this NG is stalking the female members, but they of course were unaware till he boasted of his criminal behaviour. He can't even make his solo launch lie sound plausible, because he actually thinks you "winch" a boat that size up onto the trailer. I suppose he'll need to watch more closely at the ramps, till he can fabricate a believable lie, by seeing how the real boat owners do it. Here's another of his lies, a list of the boats he's owned:-) since then he's added an optimax powered runabout & currently still claims to own a 36ft custom designed "lobster" boat with 500hp+ Cummins & the Parker 26:-) He's such a liar it really is a mental illness. His own posts are pasted of course, he demands nothing less:-) Here are some: "Hatteras 43' sportfish Swan 41' racing/cruising sloop Morgan 33 O'Day 30 Cruisers, Inc., Mackinac 22 Century Coronado Bill Luders 16, as sweet a sailboat as ever caught a breeze. Century 19' wood lapstrake with side wheel steering Cruisers, Inc. 18' and 16' wood lapstrakes Wolverines. Molded plywood. Gorgeous. Several. 14,15,17 footers with various Evinrudes Lighting class sailboat Botved Coronet with twin 50 hp Evinrudes. Interesting boat. Aristocraft (a piece of junk...13', fast, held together with spit) Alcort Sunfish Ancarrow Marine Aquiflyer. 22' footer with two Caddy Crusaders. Guaranteed 60 mph. In the late 1950's. Skimmar brand skiff Arkansas Traveler fiberglass bowrider (I think it was a bowrider) Dyer Dhow Su-Mark round bilge runabout, fiberglass Penn Yan runabouts. Wood. Old Town wood and canvas canoe Old Town sailing canoe...different than above canoe" He's just a lying piece of crap. K Add Lyman to that list. I recall him talking about owning one. I'd love to Jim but as you know I can only paste his own words, because after all he's a liar & was previously trying denial. He has also tried to delete archived posts, but that's not worked because I had already harvested & there are just so many lies from Harry even he can't manage them:-) Despite him saying otherwise have a look at his disguised headers?? he tries to avoid detection, particularly now it's illegal for him as a union employee to appropriate members' money to spruik for the elections. Best regards, K |

Grandkids implies kids, which implies that at some time in her life, there was a man, if not a husband. He probably hanged himself... |

Advice sought on electric trailer winches...
My old tractor has a Warn electric winch on it. It's old and it still
works, and while I have not examined the Powerwinch brand, I wonder if these truck, 4x4 and "tractor" winches are tougher than the boater trailer winches. The guy who owned the tractor before me used the winch to haul fallen trees and suchlike off the edges of his farm. ================================== My brother had one of those utility type winches. He got it thru Grangers, I think. This was more of a light duty winch, tho. About 1500 lb. single line pull. It would have handled his 17 footer OK, but he never hooked it up, so I can't say how it might have worked out. But, it looked to me to be a well built unit. Powerwinch has a large unit that is rated at 10,000 lbs double line pull. I haven't seen one to these in the stores, I think you have to order them specially. Its quite a bit more expensive than the 912 like I have. |
